“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] For purposes of analogy only, imagine that each subconscious layer is personified into a personality, who is then subjected to rendition of a dream or more, who watches a screen upon which the dream images flicker.

Every subconscious personality then would see and hear the same dream, as many persons may watch the same movie; and as each person in a theater interprets the symbolism of the drama differently, so does each layer of the subconscious interpret differently the same elements of one dream.

[...] The “I” who dreams, who is aware of motion, action and participation in a dream, this “I” is of course the inner self, focused momentarily upon the particular subconscious layer at which the dream is originated.

I will here suggest that the term “subconscious layer” has served its purpose, and in its place we will refer to “subconscious areas.”

[...] You are unaware of these buried selves, these buried abilities, these buried creative functions and combinations, and yet in other layers of reality these come to the forefront and you allow these their play and the characteristics that you think of now so securely as your own, these are buried. [...]

Within the self that you know there are countless combinations of selves that you do not admit, and in other layers of probable realities these selves have their say and live out their potential. [...]

[...] You are flesh and blood at this point of space and time as you think of it, and not sterile pure air, therefore, what you receive will automatically come through the subconscious layers of your mind. [...]

(9:23.) The natural person is to be found, now, not in the past or in the present, but beneath layers and layers of official beliefs, so you are dealing with an archeology of beliefs to find the person who creates beliefs to begin with. [...]

[...] As stated, it originally was quite thick, so I peeled the top layer from it, containing the design printed in red, to insert into the double envelopes. [...] When this thin layer was enclosed between the regular two pieces of Bristol, then sealed in the usual double envelope, it was not possible to judge by feel, or weight, that it was in any way somewhat different from the usual envelope object.

[...] The coaster is made of heavy absorbent cardboard, so I peeled the top layer of paper from it. [...]

The ego is only one layer of the self that has self-consciousness. [...]

Each layer, or each area of the whole self, imagines that it is the center of awareness, and that the whole self revolves about it. [...]

(Pause.) This information is, then, often interpreted on return by other layers of the self such as the body consciousness and subconscious, where it is formed into dreams that will have meaning to these areas of the self and where general teaching, for example, may be translated into practical advice involving a particular matter.

[...] They are also signals for different layers of consciousness, realization, and activity. [...]

The eye movements noted in the beginning of REM sleep are only indications of dream activity that is closely connected to the physical layers of the self. These periods mark not the onset of dreams, but the return of the personality from deeper layers of dream awareness to more surface areas.

Quite simply, the self travels to levels of awareness, and to layers of the self that are far divorced from the physical areas of mobility. [...]

Attempts to paint sculpts however that were often for outdoor use sometimes resulted not only in running together color, but in a mold that built up between layers of color.

You learned how to mix colors in such a way that they would dry uniformly, and to apply them in certain ways (with gestures, implying layers of color one over the other) to facilitate this drying.

(I also work, usually, with one color layer over another, rather than mixing them while wet. [...]

Though he does not understand what he does, he is learning control at other layers of consciousness, and he will be able to utilize his abilities far better in our sessions and in other experiments. [...]

[...] It can be used for many purposes, and was as I told you a demonstration on several layers.

All layers of the personality are indeed conscious layers. [...]

Most studies even dealing with the conscious state are extremely superficial, dealing only with those upper layers of egotistical awareness that are immediately concerned with the manipulation of the self within physical reality.

[...] Simultaneously these other streams of perception and consciousness go by without your notice, yet they are very much a part of you, and they represent quite valid aspects, events, actions, emotions with which you are also involved in other layers of reality.

[...] This final touching-up process is not done by deeper layers of the self however, but is much more nearly a conscious process than you realize.

Any one of these various layers of consciousness can be used as the normal acting consciousness, reality being viewed from that specific standpoint.

[...] The object consists of small printed type which was folded several times; such an impression of tiny criss-crossings could occur to an entity with the ability to see through the layers of the object, so to speak, or to pick up the impressions resulting from layers. [...]

[...] If Seth can penetrate the folded layers of the object and tell us that printed type is a mishmash, then presumably he could tell us about things on the back of the object also, even when the object is folded.

[...] And as you know, in another layer of reality, this is the dream state, and in that level of reality I am telling you to remember your dreams, and I have already told you that this evening you will have a class dream session, and this is it. [...]

([Gert:] “On this business of the Alpha layers, this again is a changing of focus, it is not?”)

Beneath this you will find the succeeding layers that have to do with personal reincarnations. Beneath this you will find material dealing with the race as a whole, and as Jane supposed even layers dealing with the prehuman state.

The entity is the sum of these layers, having all of this knowledge at conscious command at all times. [...]

[...] Most of all, there would be far — if you will excuse me — better communication between the subjective layers of the self, an increased sense of security, and, particularly with children, an earlier kindling of creative abilities.

[...] I do not believe that it is possible for you to carry your dream experiments far enough to discover certain other factors that do exist between various layers of the subconscious, and falling temperature rates in the physical organism. [...]

This correlation between the layers of the subconscious and temperature ranges is true, or rather observable, only when the personality is in an inactive state. [...]

Information quite literally must be sifted through the layers of the medium’s personality. [...]

[...] The ego will simply be bypassed, but the other layers of the self, the neurological structures particularly, will continue to operate as always. [...]

[...] Each of the deeper layers of consciousness can also be used as first steps leading to other adjacent levels. [...]

Directly beneath this is A-3. You have an extension, again, here dealing with mass issues — movements of land, the history of your planet as you know it, the knowledge of the races that inhabited it, the history of the animals, the layers of gas and coal, and of the various ages that swept across the planet and changed it.

Layers off my skin.

[...] He was discussing nightmares as far back as the 15th session, dream locations in the 44th session among others, the layers of the subconscious and dreams in the 92nd session. [...]

In many cases these problems are not those belonging to the ego, but to other layers of the self. [...]
